Farmers Market bougie tuna pate with quail egg centre was a hit with the cat, thanks @Taleya. She's been eating the gravy but leaving the "meat" of the cheap Dine shit that was in the house, so a pate texture worked out perfectly. The 6 pack of the Chicken collection (3x broth, 3x gravy) was on sale, let's see if she takes to those.
Sweet.
RC do pate, we usually get the renal but they might have variants in gastro maybe?

I have a consultation with my wedding florist today and I honestly don't know what I want so am terrified. This is what the professionals are for, right?
Ask them if they have photos of their previous work, maybe something will catch your eye.

must a wedding have flowers?
I'd rather have flowers than people if i ever got married. Catering would just be a bag of mulch and maybe some blood and bone.

Hmmm I started my role (first role!) in May and got a small pay bump as part of the annual remuneration review! About 6%. Didn't expect it but will gladly take it. Hopefully that means I'm doing something right
6% is a good pay rise! It matches CPI so means you are not going backwards. Many employers give pay rises less than CPI so to increase salary in real terms you would have to get promoted or move jobs.

Woke up from a really yucky dream in which I was running late to a final high school exam that was going to determine my whole life... Everyone at home was shaming me hard, and I couldn't decide whether it was still worth trying to make a dash for the "late intake". I called a fancy hotline that used a projector in my phone to cast a 3D hologram map in front of me, showing that no matter which route I took I'd be late. (And also cheerfully reminding me that the best way to get to an exam on time is to leave earlier! And take it seriously.)
I decided to RUN there instead, and was overwhelmingly relieved when I saw a bunch of people lined up at school including my primary school bully (?!); so I wasn't the only one who was a failure, I was part of a normal group ... but when we were allowed in (and of course had to complete the exam in the given time, 15% less than if we'd arrived on time) I realised I was so flustered I couldn't work out the answers to most of the questions and was bordering on a panic attack...
Then I woke up to the cat's routine morning screams to get me out of bed and serving her various needs. I HATE school dreams.
